Our final award winner during #MercyWeek is Elizabeth Jones! Elizabeth is a medical assistant at Mercy Family Medicine – Waldron, Arkansas, who was nominated for the Stewardship Award for always going above and beyond to help patients and co-workers. Practice Manager Chrissy Trampp says, “She is always willing to help others no matter if it’s helping the front desk, housekeeping, me or a job she has never done before. If it is something that she has never done before, she will just ask ‘show me what to do’ and she runs with it, but you will be able to count on her retaining that new skill and using it at another time. The best thing about Elizabeth is that she is someone that you can ask for an honest opinion and she will give it to you.” Congratulations, Elizabeth!
